Wild_ManHello Bashing-om, have you already looked for links to add today?02:25
Wild_ManBashing-om, waiting on history of gdoc to load ubuntu insights is missing, I am going to add it back once the history has loaded03:21
Wild_ManBashing-om, never mind I found it, I was just thinking incorrectly for a moment03:27
Wild_ManBashing-om, I added I think it was two links, not much news worthy03:50
Bashing-omWild_Man: Backk ,, was away from the Keyboard . I play catchup on UWN .04:06
Wild_ManBashing-om, not much to catch up on04:07
Bashing-omWild_Man: " RTX 8000 Support, 4.20 Kernel Compatible " is the 4-20 kernel Generally availabale ? . Of general interest ?04:11
Wild_ManBashing-om, would it not be best to leave it in the blogosphere?04:29
Bashing-omWild_Man: Hey .. beats me .. why I am asking about GA . I have yet to come up with a good way to determine General Availability - If it is not GA, should we even report ?04:35
Wild_ManBashing-om, it is for Ubuntu and all of linux, do you usually put these types in General interest? if so that is okay with me04:41
Bashing-omWild_Man: The location is fine .. the question has to do with kernel 4.20 // lemme check what kernel cosmic is running .04:44
Wild_ManBashing-om, the kernel is an upcoming kernel 4.20 is not out yet04:44
Wild_ManNot pre-installed anyway04:45
Bashing-omWild_Man: Yes ! .. and I ask is that not of General Avalability ?.. and thus not of interet at this time ?04:46
Wild_ManBashing-om, I am not sure, I mean it can run on ubuntu flavors right?04:46
Bashing-omWild_Man: While it can .. who in their right mind is going to try and run a 4.20 kernel ?04:47
Wild_ManBashing-om, people do it all the time, but put that way it is probably better not to include it, we might have more people with broken systems then we already do, I have seen at least one user running it and having issue04:49
Bashing-omWild_Man: Breaking systems is a good thought ... We have no idea presently if any ubuntu release will have 4.20 as default . // And back to my original question, if NOT GA, do we report anyway/anything ?04:51
Bashing-omWild_Man: Mind ya I do not have the skills to play politics - or say what direction UWN should take in the future . We do not even lnow what inmpact UWN has on the community :(04:53
Bashing-omknow*04:54
Wild_ManBashing-om, please define what you General Availability so I make sure I understand exactly what you mean by the team04:55
Bashing-omWild_Man: I think of GA as easy to lay my hands on and install this software ... kernel 4-20 is presently at RC4 - testing. Anything related to that is also testing .. well, I have reservations to report on it .05:01
Wild_ManOkay, good with me, I have run rc kernels on more then one occasion but only when I had too, I have never really had an issue with it but they do not receive updates automatically so that is an issue,05:05
Wild_ManI guess we can leave it out and if people need it they will find it05:06
Bashing-omWild_Man: We do run across many thing that are not GA - by my definition - ; should we NOT report these things what we know ? This is for sure what direction we want that UWN should take .05:13
Wild_ManWe report dev stuff so I do not really see no reason not to report it, Just include it I think it will be fine05:17
Bashing-omWild_Man: Ho -kay .. writing up the " RTX 8000 Support, 4.20 Kernel Compatible " article then :)05:19
Wild_ManThanks!05:48
Bashing-om:D05:58

guivercuwn: fyi:  i've provided 3 alternative summaries; reasons in comments  (1 is minor)23:17
Bashing-omguiverc: :) looking .23:21
Bashing-omguiverc: All alternatives are the better - as mIk3_08 is brand new to this .. will take some hand holding - as was my case :) I did impart to mIk3_08 the requirement for quoting .. we see if we can get the point home .23:28
guiverc:)23:32
Bashing-omguiverc: Worse comes to worse - I will make the edits early Sunday - before copying to the WIKI .23:34
guiverci've cleaned it some more (hopefully easier for you)23:39
Bashing-omguiverc: Good man .. we want that mIk3_08 sees the error of his way :) Hand holding required muchly :P23:54
guivercyes, emphasis on hand-holding, encouragement I agree with, to try & keep..23:59
